Two of my favorite medicines: the ocean and yoga 🌊🧘‍♀️
Breathing in the salt, feeling the earth beneath me, and softening inward with every pose. The sea reminds me how to let go, how to move with the tide, how to trust the unfolding.

Thank you, Pachamama, for holding me as I heal—teaching me again and again how to meet life just as it is. 🤍

Has this ever happened to you?

You hear a new perspective, idea or point of view and your whole world flips? You see the world in a new way?

I love those moments. I’ve had enough happen that I now recognize that when this happens, my experience of the world is going to change. I call them “upturn” moments. From that moment, my world gets better, it turns up, because I see the world more clearly.

I remember one of these upturn moments very clearly. I was sitting in a Yoga Teacher Training program and I learned that for more than 50% of the population hands should be wider than shoulder width for Chaturangha to be safe and healthy for the shoulder.... wait, what?!?!

I was flabbergasted! This was completely new to me, even though I'd been teaching for 5 years at the time. I learned about skeletal variation and how pose "alignment" is different for everyone... This upturned my life and my teaching.

This simple shift in my mindset not only helped my business, my students and my teaching.... it also helped my life.

If you feel that you need a mental shift, and upturn moment (or two) then I invite you to join us for our upcoming 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program 🥰

Enrolment closes September 28. For more details, send me a DM.. I’d love to answer any and all questions

The peace and joy that the yoga journey has brought me is unparalleled and I will eternally be grateful that I took that leap many years ago.

I share this because teacher training is about more than learning and building a skill or finding a career.

It is also a time for self-reflection, growth and healing. It is a time to really get clear on what you want and what matters to you.

If this sounds like you, then I invite you to join us for our next 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program.

Enrolment closes September 28. For more details and the register, click the link in my bio 🔗

I would truly love to see you join us 🩷

My 200hr. Yoga Teacher Training literally changed my life, in so many ways.

At the age of 32, I had been a professional dancer for 12 years but was now retired and had been out of work for 2 years, I was at a crossroads. I remember walking in the forest with my fiancé the time (now my husband), discussing what I wanted to do next.

I had looked at yoga teacher training programs for 3 years but they were so expensive and took so much time that I had never choosen to commit to one, to commit to the next step on my journey.

My husband said, "just do it. If this is what you want, do it."

So I did, it was a challenge financially but we made it work and after I finished the course I wondered what took me so long! LOL

By the way, HUGE shout out to my husband, for being so supportive. and giving me the push that I needed.

From that training, I…

🖤 Got an amazing education
🖤 Learned how to cue and sequence poses
🖤 Built confidence in my teaching and ability to lead

I expected all of these but what I didn't expect was how I would…

🤍 Discover myself
🤍 Find my Dharma (life purpose)
🤍 Feel empowered to step into my wise and authentic self
🤍 Get clear on my values and how to apply them in my life
🤍 Meet amazing people who inspire and support me
🤍 Commit to myself and choose an amazing life that feeds me!

So, I dare you to ask yourself… are you ready to experience this? If any part of you is saying yes, DM me today to learn more

Every yoga teacher training program I’ve led (and I’ve done more than 50 over the last 10 years) has a recurring theme that naturally comes up to serve and support that particular group. Each group is unique and beautiful, in their personalities and what they bring to the training. Thus, the training itself shifts and molds to what the students’ need.

Of course, the content stays the same but over the years I’ve noticed that there is a certain “current” that begins to show itself naturally to really serve each unique group of students. It is a beautiful and magical thing.

One year the philosophy that kept coming up for the group was the powerful yoga principle of being courageous enough to change what we can control, letting go of the things that we can’t and having the wisdom to understand the difference.

In another training, we had deep conversations around our intentions as a yoga teacher.
How do we support our students while still empowering them to support themselves? We unpacked how it is important for us, as teachers, to do our own inner work to really support our students in a healthy way.

These organic lessons are transformative for the whole group and I’ve seen incredible shifts in students as they incorporate these themes into their personal lives, on the mat, and in their teaching.

So let me ask you...

Are you joining us for training soon?
What will you discover that you need throughout the course?
What will manifest to support you in the most perfect and beautiful way?

We shall see….

As my birthday rolls around at the end of this month I'm contemplating life and how precious it really is. I actually think about this often ecause, as many of you know, I live with a brain tumor and have been incredibly blessed to have 12 sacred years since it was diagnosed.

Life is precious because it is fleeting. Yoga is a life-style that gives us tools & systems to fully enjoy this fleeting life for all that it is, even when times are tough and this life may not be all that we want it to be.

I am always thankful for all that I've learned about life through Yoga. As the Gita says.

“Change is the law of the universe. You can be a millionaire, or a pauper in an instant.”
